Answer:

Conservation of energy is mostly related to generating awareness. Most of people are not aware of the state of the earth due to global warming and ozone layer depletion. However, with a little amount of awareness, a change in the habit of the individuals can be brought about. A change in their pattern can bring about a difference in the world. Energy conservation is related not only to behavior and practice but also to time.

  People do not spend time thinking about what might happen if there are no resources left to produce electricity. The absolutely cannot fathom how essential it is to switch off a car’s engine at the red light. Switching off the car does not save energy only, but it also reduces pollution in the environment. By the law of conservation of energy we neither can add fresh energy to the environment, nor can energy die out. Therefore we should do all that we can to preserve it for the future.

Introduction

Water and electricity are two resources we absolutely need – water because it is essential to life and electricity because the modern world would not be possible without it. Unfortunately, these resources are finite; there is only so much fresh water in the world and electricity is generated from fossil fuels which are a dwindling natural resource. What makes matters worse is that the global population increases day by day making the demand for these resources higher. In order to ensure that future generations have enough of both resources, we need to conserve them.

Conservation of Water

There is no denying the fact that we need water to survive. Some studies have speculated that the human body can go only three days without water. This isn’t surprising since sixty percent of our body is made up of water. However, this is also the resource that gets wasted the most. We leave taps running, don’t pay attention to leaks and pollute the sources of fresh water we so desperately need. It is becoming imperative that we take steps to reverse this or we will soon lose this resource completely.

There are certain steps all of us can take on an individual level to help conserve water. Some of them are:

When you shave or brush your teeth in the morning, don’t leave the water running. By turning of the tap you can save around nineteen litres of water a day.

You can buy water conserving adapters and have them fitted to your taps. They will halve the flow of water from the taps.

Fill up the sink to the halfway mark with water when you wash the dishes, instead of using running water. You can save around thirty litres every fifteen minutes this way.

Make sure that all leaks are repaired properly. Thirty litres of water a day is lost through leaks.

Shower instead of taking a bath in the bathtub. The difference between the latter and the former is one hundred and ten litres.

Conservation of Electricity

Electricity plays such a major role in our lives that we feel the pinch the moment power gets cut. Pretty much every appliance we use in the house is dependent on electricity. However, when we leave these things connected and running even though we are not using them, we end up wasting huge amounts of electricity.

Some steps we can take to conserve electricity are:

Switch off lights and fans when we leave a room.

Use energy-efficient bulbs rather than the regular ones. They are brighter and use much less electricity.

When not using an appliance such as a washing machine or television, switch them off from where they’re connected into the socket.

When not charging electronic devices, make sure to turn off the chargers or disconnect them.

In summer, find times when you can open up the windows for air circulation and cooling instead of switching on the air conditioner.

Conclusion

There are many small ways in which we can conserve electricity and water. When we take these steps not only will they reduce the amount of water or energy you need to use but also lower the bills you have to pay for them. Making these steps a habit will serve everyone better in the long run.
